Can I write like Lemony Snicket? (Daniel Handler)?
We're doing a short creative writing project at school, and rather than actually be creative, we have to copy somebody else's style. Big whoop, eh? Ha, anyway, I chose Lemony Snicket ( I believe his real name is something like Daniel Handler) and to be perfectly honest, he's a completely loony genius in my mind, so there you go. I'm thirteen, nearlly fourteen, by the way. But I'm not too sure I've grasped his strange, amusing style. I tried to drag it on a bit (let's face it - he does that a lot). Any tips? Here's my example: If you have ever been unfortunate to have the words “wishes do come true” uttered before you, then you have probably learnt by now that anybody who breathes such defiance is either completely imprudent or lives in a house of gingerbread. Either way, you will have also learned that there is no such thing a wish coming true, just as much as there is not a house made of gingerbread, which tastes vile and spoils in the rain. Some people learn that such a ridiculous saying is absurd the moment the words are expressed, and others learn it a while after. I myself learnt it when a certain man broke my heart several years ago, and have since then remembered that wishes do not come true. I remember such facts while shopping, and am hoping that the rain stops, or that they have lemon meringue at the post office, or that the old lady scuttling across the road will reach the kerb in time, much to the hopes of the bus driver, after an evil ex-acquaintance of mine snapped the brake pedal; all of these hopeful wishes - I’m sorry to say - hardly ever swing my way. And as it so happened, on the day that the old lady managed to miss the hit by the bus, Bernie walked onto the pavement, finally free of his wretched past that billowed behind him like terrible black fumes.

Why don't they make a continuation of the movie Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events?
I've been wondering about it, too... But even if they do we will see some other actors, because L. Aiken and E. Browning grew up, so I don't know whether I would like more movies since there is a chance that replacing them with somebody else will spoil the Series.
Tell me some interesting facts about Lemony Snicket?
His real name is Daniel Handler. Last time I checked he had one kid and a wife. He first wrote an adult book that bombed. He has a twisted sense of humor---I met him in person; one of the funniest people I've met.
Why does Count Olaf have a tattoo of an eye on his ankle (A Series of Unfortunate Events)?
In the Series of Unfortunate Events there is an organization called V.F.D, and that stood for “Volunteer Fire Department”, which it was in it’s early days but evolved into solving bigger things. Anyway, it’s symbol was an eye that if you looked really close at, you could see the letters VFD. every member had a tattoo of that eye on their ankle, and Count Olaf was originally part of VFD. When the baudelaires were really little, their parents were part of VFD. So at this time, a fight broke out within VFD, and everyone had to choose a side. Count Olaf was apposing the side that the Baudelaire’s parents were on.Hope this was helpful ;)
Why didn't they continue Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events movie series.?
Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies hoped the film would become a franchise like the Harry Potter film series.[9] Jim Carrey was attracted to the film because he found it to be a good recurring franchise character that would still allow him each time to dive into a new role.[15] "I don't have a deal [for a sequel], but it's one that I wouldn't mind doing again because there are so many characters," the actor explained in December 2004. "I mean, it's just so much fun. It's so much fun being a bad actor playing a character..."[5] In May 2005, producer Laurie MacDonald said "Lemony Snicket is still something Paramount is interested in pursuing and we're going to be talking with them more."[45] In an October 2008 interview, Daniel Handler said that "a sequel does seem to be in the works. Paramount has had quite a few corporate shakeups, widely documented in articles I find too stupefying to finish, which has led to many a delay. Of course, many, many plans in Hollywood come to naught, but I'm assured that another film will be made. Someday. Perhaps."[46] In June 2009, Silberling confirmed he still talked about the project with Handler, and suggested the sequel be a stop motion film because the lead actors have grown too old. "In an odd way, the best thing you could do is actually have Lemony Snicket say to the audience, 'Okay, we pawned the first film off as a mere dramatization with actors. Now I'm afraid I’m going to have to show you the real thing.'"[47] The franchise hopes were raised a little further when Paramount purchased DreamWorks in 2006, gaining the non-US rights in the process. skimming through that, i got that they're still planning/in the works of continuing to make more movies.
I'm looking for the movie "Greta in the Wild"?
The movie stars a woman named "Lottie Carson" as Greta. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, because it's being heavily associated with the book "Why we broke up" right now. If anyone could help me find it somewhere, that'd be wonderful. Thanks
